    lol when I was playing the game in my youth (and having no exposure to speedrunning) I challenged myself to get as many sprites without cleaning the first statue. I called it the "slacking off challenge" because the pianta police in the cutscene said they knew if I would start slacking off. So I started slacking off.

      @@anueutsuho7425 talking about the game theory bullshit?
      nah, I dunno anything about that, the whole thing about bowser literally not hurting a single person in the first game is straight from the game manual, he casts a kingdom-wide spell turning everyone into blocks, the similarly powerful individuals resist it, and mario sets to murderin'
      as far as I know we never once in any game get any explanation as to wtf happened to peach's parents: no indication they were turned into blocks but peach was alone when bowser got there and nobody has seen them sense, or even seems to remember they ever existed, they are mentioned in one sentence in the manual and like 2 pages of one of the very early comics nintendo made.
      personally my best guess is that Nintendo just straight up forgot they existed until it had been too long and too much had happened in the setting without them being mentioned so bringing them up would be awkward.
      as for mario being a murderous psychopath the biggest support for it is pretty dam simple: your score in the game comes from killing people and stealing money. on top of that multikills and fancy kills get you more points so killing people _stylishly_ is important to your score, at no point in the game do you actually HAVE to kill anyone and you're usually going out of your way to do it when you do, from an in-game perspective that score means absolutely nothing to anyone but mario, it doesn't even _exist_ for anyone but mario.
      nintendo games tend to be pretty fucked up once you take even a cursory look at them, and not just because-game-mechanics their stories and world mechanics tend towards the WTF too. great example: guess who has killed more people, Kirby or the Doom Slayer?

A long time ago (I think before the Wii U was a thing) I encountered a similar glitch in Pinna Park, where I think an Electro Koopa shocked me on the same frame I grabbed the fence, and likely displaced Mario during the i-frames causing him to snap to the top of the map as shown here.
    Because the entire map was invisible due to the render distance, I thought I'd managed to despawn every object using this glitch XD

    14:20 I was screwing around in Sunshine just the other day- my first ever full playthrough of the game. The plaza flooded, but the only main shine I had left was the eighth shine in Pianta Village. I was being difficult and didn't want to have to do Corona Mountain before finishing all those shines, so I started messing with that cover (you can't get the rocket nozzle with flood town time). On the first try, I got enough height, and went into the level to get the last shine (without fruit). I died doing the shine, but after it kicked me out the plaza was back to... not flooded-
    I was never able to recreate the glitch, so maybe it's only possible fruitless when the plaza is flooded? Either way, it might be worth looking in to some more.
    Basically I did that trick when the town was flooded with no fruit- wasn't able to do it again. But all the other tries were when the town wasn't flooded anymore.

    Another top tier video. This category reminds me of 100%ing GTA III where you can do the large majority of the work after the first mission or so. Being able to do all the Emergency vehicle missions without having half the city wanting to kill you is much nicer. Also, having all 100 hidden packages makes some of the earlier missions a lot more fun when you can just use a rocket launcher.

    When I tried this, I managed to get 11 Shine Sprites before unlocking Bianco Hills, I am currently analyzing ways to get more beyond that for a potential part 2 to my original video showcasing this! It’s pretty interesting to see light being restored to the Island before you clean up the large blobs of goop which you were not only instructed to clean but also the very goop that caused the Shines to leave in the first place!
    Also, the "Goobers" are officially called Swoopin' Stu’s, I know it’s a bit of an odd name but that’s what the guide says.

    I remember looking into glitches that give Mario a lot of height, and I came across one where all Mario has to do is walk into a building in Delfino Plaza, and fall through the seam separating the inside from the outside. For some reason, every room is located far above the level map, and Mario just teleports there instantly without the player knowning

    Funny enough: When I realized you could collect shines before fighting the Statue Section, I went on a mission to collect as many shines as possible!
    Went pretty good, but some shines require advanced glitch manipulation which I couldn't. But using glitches is quite fun, and overall the experience is satisfying! Most of them require manipulation skills to reach places that you are not supposed to reach, like the top of the Portal Shrine for instance.
    It is a challenge I recommend, as each shines is satisfying to obtain ^^ Like when you do the Yoshi skip! Sure it is tricky, but once you pull that out, YES!
    PS: I heard you could complete the whole game without ever touching the statue section, but I don't know how true and/or possible this is.
